The local government is more concerned about the radiological hazards of the tailings dam and the potential risk of dam failure than the environmental hazards of the tailings dam.

Yang Jie has a lot of time dealing with officials, and he is very clear about the thoughts of these officials.

Baotou Steel Group is an important economic pillar of Baotu City, and until a new pillar of urban economic growth is found, the local pollution of Baotu Group Company is naturally invisible.

Now Baotou Iron and Steel Group Company and the local government are taking the huge artificial hanging lake as a huge burden, and the bottom of the dam has not been prevented from seepage at all, and the water seeping out of the entire dam is with a turbid color, and the surrounding soil and sand and gravel are dyed with strange colors.

Mayor Liu said to Yang Jie: "Dong Yang, Director Li, the environmental monitoring department of this tailings dam has also carried out monitoring, and the content of radioactive elements in the air around this tailings dam is exceeded, why don't we leave here first?"

This tailings dam had previously poured a large amount of thorium resources into the tailings dam, and the radioactive elements in the dam must have exceeded the standard.

This Mayor Liu naturally doesn't want to stay here longer.

Yang Jie turned to Hu Xurong and said: "Our Huaxing Group Company wants to buy the right to use this tailings dam, is Baotou Iron and Steel Group willing to sell it?"

"Huh?"

Hu Xurong and others also widened their eyes.

In the evening, in the office building of the Provincial Party Committee of Baotu City, Yang Jie also held talks with provincial and municipal officials and Hu Xurong and others.

Hearing that Yang Jie intends to buy the tailings dam of the Baotou Iron and Steel Group Company, the news is like a bomb thrown into the lake, which suddenly set off a huge wave here.

Provincial and municipal officials all want to ask Yang Jie's true attitude, after all, this tailings dam has become a heavy burden on the local area, and the big boss of Huaxing Group Company is willing to buy this tailings dam, if it is true, they will laugh out loud in their dreams.

Although Baotou Iron and Steel Group said that it was very willing to sell, they also sat on the ground and started the price, saying that the tailings dam is enriched with more than 9.3 million tons of rare earth resources, as well as many other rare metals, with a valuation of at least more than 1 trillion yuan to more than 10 trillion yuan.

Hearing these words, Yang Jie also sneered: "If there is no good technology to develop this tailings dam, then this tailings dam is a bomb hanging over everyone's heads! Since Baotou Iron and Steel Group Company said that this tailings dam is so valuable, then you can keep it and develop it yourself." ”

The vice chairman of Baotou Iron and Steel Group Company, who said this just now, suddenly fell silent, and the conference room also fell silent.

"Yang Dong, I want to hear your opinion. ”

Lin Shaolei, the leader of the provincial party committee, opened his mouth at this time to break the silence.

"I do not deny that this tailings dam does contain huge value, but how to use it is also a very troublesome thing, if Baotou Steel Group is willing to auction the right to use the tailings dam to us Huaxing Group Company, I am willing to pay a sum, and then ask technical experts to develop a more perfect development and utilization measures, and strive to completely solve the problem of dam failure and pollution in the next ten years. ”

Yang Jie opened his mouth and said.

“......”

Lin Shaolei was silent for a few seconds and said: "How does Huaxing Group ensure that it will not cause secondary pollution in the process of development and utilization?"

In fact, at the end of the 70s of the last century, the environmental pollution caused by the tailings pond began to appear, the local university of science and technology and other departments conducted a long-term investigation on the tailings dam, due to water pressure and other reasons, the highly salinized sewage in the tailings pond leaked through the soil, entered the diving layer in the surrounding area, and seriously polluted the groundwater quality nearby.

Since then, the fertility of the cultivated land around the tailings pond has begun to decline, and the flora and fauna have been affected.

Up to now, a large area of cultivated land around the tailings dam cannot be planted normally, almost all of it is abandoned, and the groundwater in the diving layer cannot be irrigated or used for people and livestock to drink, and a total of more than 7 villages, more than 3,000 people, and more than 60,000 acres of land have been affected.

Driven by groundwater, pollutants are still approaching the river at a rate of tens of meters per year.

In fact, the environmental monitoring station of Baotu City has been monitoring since the 90s of the last century, and has obtained a large amount of data, the content of sulfate, chloride and fluoride in the local well water has been increasing over time, and most of them have exceeded the prescribed water quality standards for farmland irrigation several times to dozens of times, not to mention drinking water standards.

It is impossible to say that the local officials do not know these things, everyone knows that the source of this pollution is the Baotou Iron and Steel Group Company, which is the economic pillar of Baotu City, and this state-owned enterprise cannot fail, and if it fails, then many officials will be greatly implicated in their careers.

But because of the radioactive contamination and potential risk of dam failure, local officials are sitting on top of an active volcano that could erupt at any moment, and they can't really sit idly by.

The way to solve the problem has long been clear, and turning waste into treasure through scientific and technological means has become the consensus of local governments and enterprises, but it is not easy to achieve it under the existing scientific and technological means and rare earth pattern.

In fact, in the 80s and 90s of the last century, Baotou Iron and Steel Group cooperated with a number of research institutes to carry out physical beneficiation process tests, but these processes are either not high for the recovery rate of rare earths, do not have practical value, or the process is very harmful to the environment, and the new process developed in recent years can solve these problems, but the key to this problem still falls on Baotou Iron and Steel Group Corporation.

If these processes were to be used, it would be useless to have no equipment and new plants to support the application, and it would take at least billions or more to deal with the tailings dam.

This is impossible for Baotou Iron and Steel Group Company, which has been in continuous losses, to come up with so much money, and the local government naturally does not want to bear this pot.

Before seeing the tangible benefits, everyone has the attitude of being able to drag on day by day.

Lin Shaolei also knew that Yang Jie was not a simple character, and this time he came to see this tailings dam, so naturally he would not just be kind, but also take a fancy to the potential huge wealth of this tailings dam.

The tailings pond now contains hundreds of millions of tonnes of slag and contains a higher proportion of rare earth elements than the Bo'e Yunbai mine, which is 100 miles away, and the average grade of rare earths contained in the tailings has increased from 5.5% to more than 7%.

Moreover, the sampling and analysis of the tailings slag by the Baotou Iron and Steel Rare Earth Research Institute shows that these slags are rich in rare earths, thorium resources, niobium, iron, fluorite and other elements, which are indeed a precious treasure and contain at least trillions of value.

But to develop the hundreds of millions of tons of tailings is a very huge project, even if it is not developed directly to dig out hundreds of millions of tons of slag in the tailings dam will take more than ten years, the current Baotou Iron and Steel Group Company does not have the technical means and financial resources to do this.
